This is an inclusive birding program led on our Native Garden’s paths and open spaces which are abundant with breeding birds in spring. This event will accommodate our community members who love birds and birdwatching, but may feel limited due to lack of accessibility. Please spread the word to your friends and family members who may be interested! All levels of interest and experience welcomed.
Beginners are encouraged – don’t be shy if you’ve never birded before, that’s what we’re here for! We’ll start with a tutorial on using binoculars and a quick introductory discussion about birding. As we observe the birds of the area, we’ll discuss a variety of topics, such as: techniques for locating birds, what sorts of details to notice when observing a bird, species identification, bird vocalizations, and bird behavior and habitats.
Note: The event will be centered around sit-spot birding; however, moving between spots will consist of short distances on flat but unpaved gravel paths.
Instructors Miles and Teresa Tuffli are avid birders from Sonoma County. Learn more about them at their website: I’m Birding Right Now. They especially love helping fellow nature-lovers and “bird-curious” folks take the next step of getting into the field to enjoy the bird world! They’ve led guided bird walks for a variety of environmental organizations in Sonoma and Marin County.
There is no charge for this outing, which is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund the work of Ag + Open Space with a quarter-cent sales tax.
